PO Box 102

No, Harvest Homecoming is not set up to accept electronic forms of payment including credit/debit cards, Venmo, Zelle, Paypal, etc.  If you are set up with bill pay through your online banking platform, you should be able to pay us via that method by providing our name and address.  Your bill pay provider will mail the check to us.  In this instance, you are still required to mail a Booth Rent Payment Form to be paired with your application and payment.

Yes.  If the office is not staffed, please use the mail slot on the front door.  Make sure your form and payment are in an envelope marked accordingly.  The next time we’re at the office, we will be sure to retrieve it and provide it to the Booths VP.

No.  The Booth Committee reviews every application for acceptance each year.  Applying does not mean you will participate in the festival.  Additionally, booth spaces are limited to the streets utilized for Booth Days; we only have so many spaces to fill.

No.  The Booth Committee reviews every application for acceptance each year. 

Applying does not mean you will participate in the festival.  Additionally, booth spaces are limited to the streets utilized for Booth Days; we only have so many spaces to fill.

All applicants are reviewed to ensure alignment with our Booth Purpose.  Booth applicants are then prioritized as follows:

1. Returning vendors/downtown merchants in good standing.  Any remaining spaces are then filled by:
2. New applicants – local vendors (small business, non-profits, charities, civic organizations) 
3. New applicants – non-local vendors (small business, non-profits, charities, civic organizations)
4. Commercial and large businesses/corporations and services industries  (i.e. home remodeling, cell phone sales, real estate, etc)

Yes.  All vendors agree to our Booth Days operating hours as part of their acknowledgement and acceptance of our booth rules.  You are required to be open during all advertised hours.  Failure to do so results in many complaints and questions from our patrons who expect the booths to be open on time and may result in the vendor being excluded from future events.

Booths are 10 feet by 10 feet (10′ x 10′) or 100 square feet.  Booths longer than 10 feet may rent additional spaces to accommodate their setup.  Booths cannot be wider than 10 feet.

Measure the length of your booth/trailer and divide by 10 feet (include the bumper and hitch if applicable) to determine how many spaces you need.  Example: If you have a 25 foot long booth, you will need to rent 3 booth spaces or 30 feet.

Note that most declinations are simply due to lack of space.  However, the more detailed you are with the description of what you offer is very helpful.  We are also looking for unique offerings as we do our utmost to ensure a wide variety of vendors for our patrons.

Photos are not required as part of the application process.  If the Booth Committee has any questions, they will reach out to the vendor.

We use the month of August to conduct final reviews and make decisions regarding booth placement.  Vendors are notifed by Labor Day whether they’ve been placed for the festival.  Some declination notices may go out sooner but we cannot announce official acceptances until the beginning of September.

If you sell pre-packaged food and drinks (i.e. bags of chips, cans of soda, etc.), you do not need a permit.  Any other food and beverage sales may require a permit.  All questions should be directed to the Floyd County Health Department as they issue the permits.  They may be reached at (812) 948-4726.

The Health Department will make their Harvest Homecoming Temporary Food Permit application available later in the year.  We will link it to our website when it is available.  We advise that vendors wait until they know whether they’ve been accepted before they apply as the fee is non-refundable.  Any questions need to be directed to the Floyd County Health Department at (812) 948-4726.  Harvest Homecoming does not govern or issue the food permits.
